🛥️ Welcome ORCA33! 🌞

We had a new successful sea campaign:
1) We reconnected 4 lines previously installed and tested on node 1 to the newly deployed node 2
2) We deployed and connected 5 new lines to node 2

Big thanks to everyone involved for this great step!

Happy #WorldTeachersDay!

A scientific discovery depends not only on instruments and technology, but also on those who ignite curiosity in the next generation.

Let's thank all teachers for their passion, and enthusiasm!

Congratulations Luc!

Luc Cerisy ( @univ-amu.fr / CNRS Marseille )
won the 2024 GNN Dissertation Prize for his thesis:

“First tau neutrino appearance, non-unitary mixing
and absolute orientation measurements in KM3NeT”.

It was one of ten submitted theses.

Yes! we have installed a second 'node' for detection units in the #ORCA seafloor network! A complex operation executed by ship crews, ROV operators and #KM3NeT teams on board and in the control station on the shore.

Congratulations and many thanks to all of them!

Second node of ORCA installed - KM3NeT

During a complex sea campaign we installed a new node in the ORCA seafloor network in preparation for the deployment of future detection units.

🚢🌊 Welcome, ARCA51! A milestone for KM3NeT! 🚢🌊

In the past 2 weeks, KM3NeT/ARCA grew to 51 detection units and got a new acoustic system with sub-meter precision 🎯
👏 Huge thanks to our offshore & onshore teams!

We are very proud of our PhD student Nadja Lessing from @vegaific.bsky.social! She won the @europhysicssociety.bsky.social poster prize at the Majorana School held in Modica (Sicily, Italy)!

👏👏👏

On her poster she shows how KM3neT can search for quantum decoherence

Have a look and get inspired!
